AI Summary

This bill establishes a stretch of Highway 37 in Lincoln County as the Danny L. Radish Highway, specifically from mile marker 63.6 to mile marker 66.8, in honor of Master Gunnery Sergeant Danny L. Radish, a distinguished United States Marine who received the Silver Star and Navy and Marine Corps Medal for his heroic service during the Vietnam War. The bill requires the Department of Transportation to design and install appropriate signs marking the location of the highway and to update state highway maps to include this designation. The legislation recognizes Radish's significant military contributions, including his receipt of the Silver Star for gallantry in 1970, his Navy and Marine Corps Medal for heroism in 1982, and his establishment of the annual Enlisted Aircrewman of the Year Award. Additionally, the bill acknowledges Radish's long-time residency in Eureka, Montana, and his role as a respected community member and mill safety director. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage and approval, and is intended to be codified as part of Title 60, Chapter 1, Part 2 of Montana state law.
